SB 199-VOCATIONAL EDUCATION FUNDING FACTOR
2:16:20 PM
CHAIR EGAN announced consideration of SB 199.
2:16:24 PM
SENATOR KEVIN MEYER, sponsor of SB 199, said he and Senator Joe
Thomas introduced SB 84 last year that created a separate
funding factor for vocational education programs for grades 9-
12. Voc-Ed funding was 1 percent of the base student allocation
(BSA) and since this bill was signed, the school districts have
said it was a good program. The only problem is that it didn't
include middle school. So, SB 199 expands the program to include
middle school.
2:17:46 PM
EDRA MORELEDGE, staff to Senator Meyer, had nothing further to
add.
2:18:03 PM
SENATOR PASKVAN moved to report SB 199 from committee with
individual recommendations and attached fiscal note. There were
no objections and it was so ordered.
